momo sat impatiently at the booth seat she was at. she wore a creme-colored sweatshirt with black jeans. she glared at her phone, sighing before drinking her latte. she glanced out the window, tapping her fingers on the table. she checked the time on her phone again, seeing no new messages from anyone, including jiro. momo heard the door open, she perked up and glanced over at the door. she smiled softly, seeing jiro who glanced at her phone before looking around. 

"jiro!" momo called out softly, not wanting to be too loud. jiro looked over at momo, smiling before heading over to momo. she sat opposite from her, seeing the expresso in front of her. "that's yours." momo pointed out, jiro nodded. 

"thanks, i appreciate it," jiro said before drinking the expresso. 

"you look, um, cute," momo managed to say, jiro having to put her expresso down. 

"oh, uh, um," jiro subconsciously began to twirl one of her earphones, her cheeks tinting to a soft pink. "you look cute as well."

"oh, thank you," momo said, looking down at her lap with a small smile. 

the two were silent for a while, jiro let go of her earphone. momo glanced up. 

"so," the two said at the same time, turning into blushing messes. 

"uh, you first," jiro said.

"no, no, i insist," momo responded. jiro hesitated before speaking. 

"how about we talk about our interests?" jiro shrugged slightly. 

"oh, well, i obviously love reading," 

"same," 

"how did you end up working at a library by the way?" 

"oh, at first i just needed a job at least. then, i found that the library was hiring and i just applied for the job," jiro shrugged, drinking her expresso. "in winter, i like staying after hours just before closing for a while just to read."

"does your boss know you do that?"

"probably from the security cameras," jiro smiled softly. 

"i still live with my parents for now," momo frowned slightly, placing her folded hands on the table. "i don't know what i want to be or even major in when i go to college." momo sighed. "it's difficult being older, you know?" 

"hey," jiro reached over and placed her hand on momo's. momo looked up at her, she saw jiro's serious yet calming face. "don't push yourself, you'll figure out soon." momo smiled at her. 

"thank you," 

the two continued to talk about other topics, jiro mentioning her annoying best friend, kaminari who momo thought sounded pleasing. jiro mentioned sero, bakugo, kirishima. momo laughed lightly at the way jiro would describe them. momo spoke a few of her friends, there was mina and uraraka, she mentioned todoroki and midoriya. 

"todoroki sounds like the complete opposite of denki," jiro said. "wanna trade?" momo giggled softly. jiro was in awe from momo. she thought of her as the truly cutest girl she's ever met. "does that midoriya have green hair?" 

"yeah, how come?"

"oh my god," jiro's eyes widened slightly, she laughed while leaning over toward the window in her seat. "that's the guy bakugo basically hates." 

"oh? i don't know if i have heard midoriya talk about bakugo,"

"i think he calls him kacchan, bakugo hates that,"

"he has mentioned him!" momo exclaimed, the two then laughed at the parallels. 

"how coincidental," jiro said.

"yeah," 

the two continued to talk to each other, cracking jokes and sharing smiles to one another. almost two hours had passed before they decided it was time to leave. they walked outside, standing opposite from each other.

"i had a great time with you, momo," jiro said with a smile.

"me too, i hope we can hang out soon,"

"same here," 

"well," momo walked toward jiro a bit. she then leaned over and kissed jiro on the cheek. the soft shade of pink spread along jiro's cheeks, her eyes widening slightly. "text me?" 

"of course," jiro stammered, momo smiled before walking in the opposite direction. she waved back at jiro before turning the corner. jiro suddenly had a wide smile on her face, her face was still a shade of pink. 

"holy shit, holy shit," jiro muttered, scrambling to get her phone out. she went to messages, walking while she quickly texted.
